Cambodia Floating Villages

from battambang we for once wanted to change the way of transportation for once. So we decided to take a boat. The duration was 8 hours but the length of the trip was worth the view.

the most interesting was to see people live in so called floating villages. That means, villages that float on the river and sometimes in the year can not exactly be located due to rising water levels. You have to imagine houses that are either fixed onto bamboo sticks or big metal cans that keep houses floating on the water. So the shower is the river, the toilet is the river, the washing water is the river, and the food comes from the river. the boat we were taking, has stopped every once in a while for delivering rice to the locals from Battambang.





Siem Reap itself is quite touristy, how else to expect from Angkor Wat but has a nice market and a beautiful river which flows through the city.
